Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0175287A1] A system and method for measuring the flow rate of recirculated exhaust gas in a compression ignition engine including a plurality of engine sensors having outputs indicative of current engine conditions and a turbocharger (50). The system includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve (60) mounted in the exhaust pipe (56) upstream of the turbocharger for diverting a selectable portion of the exhaust gas for recirculation and combination with the charge air, one or more sensors (68, 70, 80) for sensing current conditions of the recirculated exhaust gas, including temperature and pressure, one or more sensors for sensing current conditions of the intake air, and control logic for determining the flow rate of the recirculated exhaust gas as a function of the sensed conditions.
